Bart Palosz - teenager bullied to death in Greenwich, Connecticut

Bart and his sister, Beata

Bartlomiej "Bart" Palosz, age 15, died on August 27, 2013, at his family's home in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Bart shot himself.

Bart was a student at Greenwich High School. After one day of classes in the new school year, he committed suicide.

Friends state that Bart was bullied since he moved to Greenwich from his native Poland when he was 4 years old.

Bart posted on his social media pages that he had attempted suicide several times before and that it was caused by relentless bullying.

In the recent past, a bully smashed Bart's brand new cellphone and had a good laugh over it.

A bully pushed him down a flight of stairs at the High School.

A group of classmates frequently shoved Bart into some thorny bushes on his walk to school.

A bully slammed a metal locker door into Bart's head, cutting him and sending him to the emergency room for stitches.

He was often picked on and put down because of his 6 foot 3 inch height, his Polish accent, his added weight, and his acne issues.

What kind of a school is this that has nasty ass student-freaks who torment others like this? This place should be called "Hell High".

High School officials stated: "Any indications that a student is experiencing significant mental health distress is addressed at the school level by personnel trained to recognize and respond to these concerns."

Of course, this is total B.S. A student can't be pushed, shoved, slammed and berated eternally without someone in authority noticing. Schools and school boards ALWAYS deny any knowledge of bullying because they do not want to be sued for negligence.

Growing up, Bart became active with the Boy Scouts. He liked to play video games and volunteer at tag sales and the Byram Shubert Library. He was also an active social media user.

Family members describe him as quiet, kind-hearted and mature for his age.

Whatever other mental health issues Bart may have been suffering from, 10 years of

Angels of God, pray for Bart

incessant bullying didn't help.

Parents in Connecticut - where are your brats and what are they doing to each other? Do you care?

Bart is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his parents, Frank and Anna Palosz; and his sister, Beata Palosz.

Pray for all who die young. Amen.

Pray for all who are tormented. Amen.

Pray that Bart is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.

Grief

Time does not bring relief;
you all have lied
who told me time would ease me of my pain.
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide.

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)

Grief...Again

It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
